Its availability upstream now and its backport in this bug allows to exploit the crypto cards as new HW for these virtualization use cases. * This falls under both "other safe cases" SRU exceptions: - For Long Term Support releases we regularly want to enable new hardware ... - For Long Term Support releases we sometimes want to introduce new features. They must not change the behaviour on existing installations ... * This bug has three main components: - kernel (ability to do all of this) - qemu (add feature to exploit the new code) - libvirt (make the feature user consumable) [Test Case] * In general this consists of a few steps - get the updated kernel/qemu/libvirt - mask the card & domains from the usual driver - load vfio-ap - assign card&domain to vfio-ap - prepare a guest - configure a guest to use the card * See comment #66 how to do all of that in detail https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1787405/comments/66 [Regression Potential] * The changes are mostly s390x only and adding a new feature so regressions to existing components should be low. But to backport it slight changes to the MDEV handling had to be applied as well. The potential regressions I can see are in that MDEV handling if one of the backports would be bad. Fortunately we know that without the related libvirt fixes we added here using MDEVs didn't work at all yet, and people very rarely use qemu without libvirt for anything else than experiments. Therefore I'm confident that even if there would be a flaw in the MDEV changes no one is hugely relying on it. [Other Info] * n/a == SRU Justification == (Kernel SRU) Allow kvm to dedicate crypto adapters (and domains) as passthrough devices to a KVM guest such that the hypervisor cannot observe the communication of the guest with the device. (Since all kernel patches/commits are from kernel 4.19, they will automagically land in 'Disco'.) == Fix == 9ea5972 ("KVM: s390: vsie: simulate VCPU SIE entry/exit") 3194cdb ("KVM: s390: introduce and use KVM_REQ_VSIE_RESTART") e585b24 ("KVM: s390: refactor crypto initialization") 1fde573 ("s390: vfio-ap: base implementation of VFIO AP device driver") 65f0671 ("s390: vfio-ap: register matrix device with VFIO mdev framework") 96d152b ("s390: vfio-ap: sysfs interfaces to configure adapters") 3211da0 ("s390: vfio-ap: sysfs interfaces to configure domains") 3b1eab7 ("s390: vfio-ap: sysfs interfaces to configure control domains") 81b2b4b ("s390: vfio-ap: sysfs interface to view matrix mdev matrix") 4210459 ("KVM: s390: interface to clear CRYCB masks") 258287c ("s390: vfio-ap: implement mediated device open callback") e06670c ("s390: vfio-ap: implement VFIO_DEVICE_GET_INFO ioctl") 46a7263 ("s390: vfio-ap: zeroize the AP queues") cd8a377 ("s390: vfio-ap: implement VFIO_DEVICE_RESET ioctl") 6cc571b ("KVM: s390: Clear Crypto Control Block when using vSIE") d6f6959 ("KVM: s390: vsie: Do the CRYCB validation first") 3af84de ("KVM: s390: vsie: Make use of CRYCB FORMAT2 clear") 56019f9 ("KVM: s390: vsie: Allow CRYCB FORMAT-2") 19fd83a ("KVM: s390: vsie: allow CRYCB FORMAT-1") 6ee7409 ("KVM: s390: vsie: allow CRYCB FORMAT-0") c9ba8c2 ("KVM: s390: vsie: allow guest FORMAT-0 CRYCB on host FORMAT-1") 6b79de4 ("KVM: s390: vsie: allow guest FORMAT-1 CRYCB on host FORMAT-2") 9ee71f2 ("KVM: s390: vsie: allow guest FORMAT-0 CRYCB on host FORMAT-2") 37940fb ("KVM: s390: device attrs to enable/disable AP interpretation") 112c24d ("KVM: s390: CPU model support for AP virtualization") 492a6be ("s390: doc: detailed specifications for AP virtualization") <-- till here in 'kvm/next' (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git/) --> 8e41bd5 ("KVM: s390: fix locking for crypto setting error path") 0e237e4 ("KVM: s390: Tracing APCB changes") 76c7829 ("s390: vfio-ap: setup APCB mask using KVM dedicated function") <-- till here in 'kvms390/next' (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux.git/) --> <-- In addition to that some prereqs for the 'ap/crypto' driver are necessary --> ea3c418 ("s390/zcrypt: Add ZAPQ inline function.") df80c03 ("s390/zcrypt: Review inline assembler constraints.") f1b0a43 ("s390/zcrypt: Integrate ap_asm.h into include/asm/ap.h.") 2395103 ("s390/zcrypt: fix ap_instructions_available() returncodes") 7e0bdbe ("s390/zcrypt: AP bus support for alternate driver(s)") 3d8f60d3 ("s390/zcrypt: hex string mask improvements for apmask and aqmask.") fa108f9 ("s390/zcrypt: remove VLA usage from the AP bus") <-- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1787405/comments/12 --> == PATCH == Above git commits are all from 4.19. The git commands for 4.18 would be: $ git cherry-pick <all from 'kvm/next' list> (112c24d "KVM: s390: CPU model support for AP virtualization" may have a trivial merge conflict with the etoken patch) $ git cherry-pick <all from 'kvms390/next' list> $ git cherry-pick <all from 'ap/zcrypt' list> == Regression Potential == Low to mid: - mid because in summary there are a lot of changes, but low - they are all limited to the s390x architecture - and again limited to KVM/s390x, vfio-ap and the zcrypt (aka ap) driver - Test kernel was built for testting. == Test Case == Setup a system for KVM use on an s390x LPAR that has CryptoExpress (aka crypto-) adapters installed. Verify that the AP bus created a sysfs device for each APQN, like: /sys/devices/ap/card04/04.0006 /sys/devices/ap/card04/04.0047 /sys/devices/ap/card0a/0a.0006 /sys/devices/ap/card0a/0a.0047 Verify the APQN range via the following two sysfs files: /sys/bus/ap/apmask /sys/bus/ap/aqmask Configure and start a guest. More details see: 492a6be ("s390: doc: detailed specifications for AP virtualization") But for that an updated qemu and libvirt should be in place - that's addressed in LP1787405, too. (So this is only the kernel part of that ticket.) __________ Description: Allow kvm to dedicate crypto adapters (and domains) as passthrough devices to a KVM guest such that the hypervisor cannot observe the communication of the guest with the device. This functionality will be contribute to following packages. --kernel, qemu and libvirt. Currently these functions are not finalized and therefore no git-commit are avalable, - kernel > 4.19 - libvirt > 4.6.0 - qemu > 3.0 We will provide these as soon as possible. This request is launched against Ubuntu 18.10 to fulllfil the feature integration process of Canonical. But the main intention is, to get this integrated into 18.04 LTS !!!!!! Thererfore, the backports will be required for both distros.!
